Wanted in New England?
Joe understands that maybe after the Bucs beat the slimy Saints to win the NFC South title today, not every Bucs fan will still consider Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen to be the next Bill Walsh. (more…)
Mike Evans speaks out.
What an emotional day for Mike Evans, Bucs players and fans.
Eleven regular seasons of Mike Evans needed an exclamation point — five more yards to hit 1,000 receiving for the season and a tie of Jerry Rice’s all-time record. (more…)
A two-year problem for Todd Bowles.
Rough day for the legions of Bucs fans that aren’t supporters of head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)
How bout those Bucs!!
With everything on the line, the Bucs came out and dropped a runny deuce on the field of The Licht House. No duck flew in to save them.
But someone found plenty of Imodium and Angel Soft and the Bucs found themselves in the fourth quarter.
Tampa Bay is 10-7 and NFC South champs for the fourth consecutive season! (more…)
The Bucs’ fourth consecutive NFC South crown is on the line.
Don’t choke!
Comment all game long below. Go Bucs!!
“Lavonte, watch me set some records today.”
Now Joe doesn’t know if it was the Bucs’ sports science people or the trainers or analytics specialist Jackie Davidson or if it was intuition from Bucs coach Todd Bowles. (more…)
Jalen McMillan hops over the goal line for a score last week.
Here’s a stat that blew Joe’s mind. (more…)
New Orleans QB Spencer Rattler.
Since the slimy Saints have come off a bye, their offense has been horrendous. (more…)
Game 17
Slimy Saints (5-11) at Bucs (9-7)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
TV: FOX (WTVT-TV Channel 13, locally) with Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady and Erin Andrews.
Yes, the NFL is a business.
That’s why the Bucs sent three consecutive short passes to lunatic Antonio Brown and asked Ronald Jones to block for him as the 2020 season closed in a game the Bucs won 44-27.
Brown had a cash incentive on the line.
Jones? Pffft, all he had was 978 yards rushing and a hunger for 1,000. (more…)
Crazy like a fox?
So the NFL had 22 double-digit pass rushers last season.
That number has been cut in half this season with one game remainng. (more…)
No, this post has nothing to do with the Tampa Bay edge rush or tomorrow’s return of Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett. (more…)
Bucs O-linemen speak out supporting their quarterback.
Joe remembers former Bucs great Warren Sapp saying this and it’s so true. (more…)
The Bucs announced this afternoon that starting safety Jordan Whitehead was involved in a car accident this morning and his resulting injuries are significant enough that the Bucs placed Whitehead on the non-football injury list.
As a result, Whitehead will not play in tomorrow’s win-and-in game against the Saints.
Details of the accident are unclear.

Turning the corner?
Look, Joe has been over this many times. Joe is not anti-stats (he is anti-PFF tribe grades — there is a major difference). Stats are nothing but information. Who is against information? (more…)
Future thoughts?
Of course, Joe hopes like heck the following doesn’t happen. (more…)
